sync: Rewrite the base primitives

2014-03-23T16:45:20+00:00

This commit rewrites the core primitives of the sync library: Mutex, RWLock, and Semaphore. These primitives now have updated, more modernized apis: * Guards are returned instead of locking with closures. All condition variables have moved inside the guards and extraneous methods have been removed. * Downgrading on an rwlock is now done through the guard instead of the rwlock itself. These types are meant to be general locks, not locks of an internal type (for external usage). New types will be introduced for locking shared data.

sync: Move Once to using &self

2014-03-23T16:45:20+00:00

Similarly to the rest of the previous commits, this moves the once primitive to using &self instead of &mut self for proper sharing among many threads now.

sync: Move the Mutex type to using &self

2014-03-23T16:45:20+00:00

This also uses the Unsafe type for any interior mutability in the type to avoid transmutes.

sync: Move the concurrent queue to using &self

This commit also lifts it up a level in the module hierarchy in the soon-to-come reorganization of libsync.

Remove outdated and unnecessary std::vec_ng::Vec imports.

(And fix some tests.)

std: Rename Chan/Port types and constructor

2014-03-13T20:23:29+00:00

* Chan => Sender * Port => Receiver * Chan::new() => channel() * constructor returns (Sender, Receiver) instead of (Receiver, Sender) * local variables named `port` renamed to `rx` * local variables named `chan` renamed to `tx` Closes #11765

fix typos with with repeated words, just like this sentence.

Rename all variables that have uppercase characters in their names to use only lowercase characters

Cleaned up `std::any`

2014-03-04T20:10:23+00:00

- Added `TraitObject` representation to `std::raw`. - Added doc to `std::raw`. - Removed `Any::as_void_ptr()` and `Any::as_mut_void_ptr()` methods as they are uneccessary now after the removal of headers on owned boxes. This reduces the number of virtual calls needed. - Made the `..Ext` implementations work directly with the repr of a trait object. - Removed `Any`-related traits from the prelude. - Added bench for `Any`
